Labocania is a genus of carnivorous theropod dinosaur of disputed affinities from the Late Cretaceous of Mexico. Initially regarded as an indeterminate theropod, later studies mentioned possible affinities with tyrannosaurids, abelisaurids, or carcharodontosaurids. More recent research based on additional fossil material found support for a position within the tyrannosaurine clade Teratophoneini. Two species have been proposed: L. anomala (the type species), likely from the La Bocana Roja Formation, and L. aguillonae from the Cerro del Pueblo Formation.
